- NECTAR ~- 33,000 feet (10.06 km), slant range 126,380 Ifeet (38.52 km). On YANKEE, 0.020 R/hr was recorded in the aircraft for a seconds. riod of 20 After the tests, the aircraft was returned to t manufac- turer for work and was found to be radiating about 0.010 r at hot spots on the landing gear, perhaps due to operating from the same runway used by sampler aircraft, as the Project 6.2a B~36D di not fly near the cloud. Staffing: Six civilians were associated with this project the University of Dayton and two from WADC. in Table 19. four from Their exposur s are given Included in this is the aircraft commander w 0.100 R, but the rest of the aircrew cannot be identified o received from the Project report. Project Report: Reference 35. Project 6.2b -- Thermal Effects on B-47B Aircraft In Flight Agencies: Allied Research Associates (ARA) Cook Research Laboratories (CRL) Wright Air Development Center (WADC) Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory (NRDL) Operations: A B-47B aircraft (No. 50-037), used in similar experi- ments during IVY, was flown in five shots to determine ther al effects. Instrumentation and aircraft positioning were deter ined by WADC, NRDL provided measurements, and CRL installed and mai ntained the instrumentation. Shots: BRAVO, ROMEO, KOON, UNION (Bikini); NECTAR (Eneweta ry. Radiation Exposure Potential: The range of the aircraft fr limited the possibility of initial radiation exposure of th@ crew. m bursts flight Aircraft positions at burst time for the various shofs were: BRAVO ~- 35,000 feet (10.67 km), slant range 61,800 fee (18.84 km) ROMEO -- 35,000 feet (10.67 km), slant range 83,500 fee (25.45 km) 191
